Abstract |
In South Korea, the cafes utilizing idle industrial facilities have become popular recently. The purpose of this study is to understand the
causes of these social phenomena and to examine the spatial characteristics of cafes regenerated from idle industrial facilities. For the study
method, this study first looked at the unique spatial characteristics of Korean cafes and the cause of the increase in the number of cafes
regenerated in South Korea. And then it looked at five cases where factories and warehouses built during the industrialization period
(1900s~1970s) of South Korea were regenerated as cafes after 2015. Finally, this study was examined the regenerative characteristics that
could be transformed from idle industrial facilities into cafes by the type analysis such as the background of the times and the strategy of
regeneration. The results showed that three spatial characteristics(large single, multi-functional and emotional) preferred in South Korean cafes
appeared in cafes regenerated from idle industrial facilities. |
